A large cache of leaked documents has revealed that more than £10 million of the Queen’s private wealth has been invested offshore and in a UK company accused of preying on Britain’s poorest people.
Details of the investments were leaked as part of the ParadisePapers on Sunday, a trove of more than 13 million documents from the world’s leading offshore law firms released through the InternationalConsortium for Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), of which the BBC is a part.
More than 120,000 people and companies have been identified during the leak, including Queen Elizabeth II.

A huge new leak of financial documents has revealed how the powerful and ultra-wealthy, including the Queen's private estate, secretly invest vast amounts of cash in offshore tax havens.
Donald Trump's commerce secretary is shown to have a stake in a firm dealing with Russians sanctioned by the US.
The leak, dubbed the ParadisePapers, contains 13.4m documents, mostly from one leading firm in offshore finance.
BBC Panorama is part of nearly 100 media groups investigating the papers.

https://democracynow.org - Examining the ParadisePapers, The Guardian reports seven Republican super-donors mentioned in the papers stored some of their fortunes offshore, beyond the reach of public scrutiny and tax authorities. Together, the billionaires pumped more than $350 million into the 2016 election. Some are well-known backers of conservative causes, like casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and Charles and David Koch. Another investigation focuses on Democratic donor James Simons, who spent $11 million to back Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Simons is the founder of Renaissance Technologies, the world’s most profitable hedge fund. Leaked records show he kept much of his $8 billion fortune in an offshore private wealth fund in Bermuda in order to avoid “particularly severe” taxes that would be triggered if he tried to bring the funds onshore. We speak with Jon Swaine, senior reporter for The Guardian.

The world of offshore accounts, shell companies and tax havens extends far beyond the fictional legal thrillers you see on the silver screen. Offshore tax havens — countries or territories where taxes are assessed at a low or nonexistent rate — are very much a reality, and U.S.-based multinational corporations play a starring role in the real-life drama.
According to a 2016 report by Citizens for Tax Justice, 367 companies in the Fortune 500 operate subsidiaries in tax-haven nations around the globe.
Just like major corporations, individuals can take advantage of the web of financial loopholes and legislation that foreign countries offer. Click through to discover 12 of these tax havens, which might help you pay less on your tax bill this year or at some point in the future.
BERMUDA
Bermuda earned the dubious distinction of ranking No. 1 on Oxfam’s 2016 list of the world’s worst corporate tax havens. Bermuda features a zero percent corporate tax rate, as well as no personal income tax rate. Due to the lack of corporate taxes, U.S. multinational companies have raked in huge amounts of money in Bermuda, notably recording profits of $80 billion in 2012. That amount exceeded their profits reported in Japan, China, France and Germany combined.
NETHERLANDS
The most popular tax haven among the Fortune 500 is the Netherlands, with more than half of the Fortune 500 reporting at least one subsidiary there. Oxfam’s list of the worst corporate tax havens placed this Benelux country at No. 3.
National governments often use tax incentives to lure businesses to invest in their country. However, far too often tax incentives have been found to be ineffective, inefficient and costly, according to Oxfam. In the Netherlands, one such tax incentive cost an estimated 1.2 billion euros in 2016. That is equivalent to 7.6 percent of what the Netherlands receives in total income from corporation tax.
LUXEMBOURG
Like the Netherlands, Luxembourg is one of the three countries that form the Benelux countries, which also have a reputation for being tax shelters. Luxembourg’s tax-haven status comes from its business-friendly laws that allow international companies to park portions of their business in the nation and dodge billions in tax bills. Tax-friendly characteristics include tax incentives, zero percent withholding taxes and evidence of large-scale profit shifting, according to Oxfam.
CAYMAN ISLANDS
The Cayman Islands offer “probably the biggest (tax) loophole now for individuals as well as the multinational corporations,” said CrystalStranger, Los Angeles-based tax operations director at 1st Tax Inc. The Cayman Islands come in at No. 2 on Oxfam’s list of the worst tax havens.
The Caymans are a British Overseas Territory, a designation that seems to be a common thread running through several tax havens on the Oxfam list. The Caymans and other countries with laws that allow a corporation to be formed and retain assets without paying tax, Stranger said. “When held for business purposes, this is perfectly legal and not a tax-avoidance strategy,” she said.
However, the tax advantages and implications are complex, and a professional is probably best equipped to handle them, she said.
The tax benefits can be worthwhile to the many businesses from the U.S. and around the world that have assets in the Caymans. In 2012, American multinational companies reported $46 billion in profits from subsidiaries based in the Cayman Islands, according to a report by Citizens for Tax Justice. That compared to a gross domestic product of just $3 billion for the territory.
SINGAPORE
This tiny sovereign city-state was once a British colony, and now is a hub for multinational corporate subsidiaries. Like the Netherlands and Luxembourg, Singapore actually has “reasonable” nominal corporate tax rates, according to Oxfam. Yet, like those nations, Singapore still finds a way to be one of the top tax havens in the world.
Singapore circumvents its “reasonable” corporate tax rates through tax incentives, lack of withholding taxes and what appears to be substantial profit shifting, according to the Oxfam report.
CHANNEL ISLANDS
Located between England and France, the Channel Islands host hundreds of international corporate subsidiaries. For example, Morgan Stanley alone has 33 tax haven subsidiaries in the Channel Islands, according to a report by the Citizens for Tax Justice.
The Channel Islands consist of two British Crown dependencies:
The Bailiwick of Jersey, consisting of Jersey
The Bailiwick of Guernsey, consisting of three separate jurisdictions: Guernsey, Alderney and SarkCrown dependencies are not part of the United Kingdom, but are instead self-governing territories.
Jersey’s status as a tax haven rose in the mid-20th century, when many rich British citizens moved their wealth to the island. At that time

Lionel Messi told a court in Barcelona on Thursday (2nd June) that he dedicated himself solely to football and had no knowledge of his income going through offshore companies as he gave evidence at his trial for tax fraud.
Lionel Messi denied having knowledge of the tax issues that led to fraud charges against him, saying on Thursday that he signed documents without reading them because he trusted his father and the advisers responsible for managing his finances.
Wearing a dark suit and tie, Messi sat alongside his father in front of the judge and listened to other testimony for nearly four hours before being called to testify in the third day of the trial.
The Barcelona player looked impatient in court at times, looking down and trying to stretch his legs.
The left foot which helps him thrive on the soccer fields kept bouncing impatiently underneath the chair.
Speaking for less than 15 minutes, he said he never suspected of any wrongdoing when his father would ask him to sign contracts or documents.
He said he did not know that part of his income was going through companies created in countries such as Uruguay, Switzerland and Belize, which authorities allege was done to lower the player's tax burden in Spain.
Messi and his father are facing three counts of tax fraud and could be sentenced to nearly two years in prison if found guilty of defrauding Spain's tax authority of 4.1 million euros ($4.5 million) from 2007-09.
They are not likely to face any jail time but could be fined and made to forfeit possible future tax benefits.
Both deny wrongdoing, and the money owed was already paid back.
The trial is expected to end on Friday with verdict and sentencing expected next week.

The Guardian

The Guardian is a British national daily newspaper. Founded in 1821 as a local paper replacing the radical Manchester Observer, it was known as The Manchester Guardian until 1959. It has grown into a national paper, and forms part of a media group with international and online offshoots. Its sister papers include The Observer (a British Sunday paper) and The Guardian Weekly (an international roundup of articles from various papers). In addition to its UK online edition theguardian.com, the paper has two international web sites, Guardian Australia and Guardian US. The Guardian is influential in the design and publishing arena, sponsoring many awards in these areas. Other media projects include GuardianFilm. The Guardian was edited by Alan Rusbridger from 1995 to 2015, when Katharine Viner succeeded him.

The Guardian is a part of the Guardian Media Group, owned by The Scott Trust Limited. The Trust was created in 1936 "to secure the financial and editorial independence of the Guardian in perpetuity and to safeguard the journalistic freedom and liberal values of the Guardian free from commercial or political interference." The Scott Trust became a limited company in 2008, with a constitution containing the same protections for the Guardian. Profits are reinvested in journalism rather than to the benefit an owner or shareholders.

Born and raised in central Argentina, Messi was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency as a child. At age 13, he relocated to Spain to join Barcelona, who agreed to pay for his medical treatment. After a fast progression through Barcelona's youth academy, Messi made his competitive debut aged 17 in October 2004. Despite being injury-prone during his early career, he established himself as an integral player for the club within the next three years, finishing 2007 as a finalist for both the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year award, a feat he repeated the following year. His first uninterrupted campaign came in the 2008–09 season, during which he helped Barcelona achieve the first treble in Spanish football. At 22 years old, Messi won the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year award by record voting margins.

Britain's offshore tax havens

A large cache of leaked documents has revealed that more than £10 million of the Queen’s private wealth has been invested offshore and in a UK company accused of preying on Britain’s poorest people.
Details of the investments were leaked as part of the ParadisePapers on Sunday, a trove of more than 13 million documents from the world’s leading offshore law firms released through the InternationalConsortium for Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), of which the BBC is a part.
More than 120,000 people and companies have been identified during the leak, including Queen Elizabeth II.

LEGAL WAYS TO AVOID PAYING TAX - The SuperRichElite are Doing It, So Why Dont You?
Don't take an income
Selling assets and realising capital gains could give you a source of cash if you needed it, and careful planning so losses in previous years offset any gains could help reduce your capital gains tax bill.
Give to charity
This is one of the strategies the government is planning to crack down on, although its plans have attracted controversy and could be watered down as a result.
Currently, if you give assets to charity you can claim income tax relief up to their entire value. The government's own Directgov website gives an example of how donating a property worth £90,000 to charity allows you to avoid paying tax on the same amount. In this case you are obviously losing the asset, but you are reducing your taxable income. Give enough away and you could reduce your taxable income to zero.
There is a way to keep hold of the asset and reduce your income. If you have a freehold property you could grant a lease on it and give that to the charity. For example, if you grant an eight-year lease the charity holds the property for the term of that lease and benefits from any rental income during that period, but at the end of the lease the property reverts to your ownership. You won't get tax relief on the value of the freehold property, but on the value of the lease -- in London that kind of lease on a £1m house could be worth £50,000.
Tax avoidance is the legal usage of the tax regime to one's own advantage, to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are within the law. Tax sheltering is very similar, and tax havens are jurisdictions which facilitate reduced taxes. The term tax mitigation is sometimes used; its original use was by tax advisers as an alternative to the pejorative term tax evasion. "Tax aggressive" strategies fall into the grey area between commonplace and well-accepted tax avoidance (such as purchasing municipal bonds in the United States) and evasion. However, the uses of these terms vary.[1] tax irs taxes legal law "tax man" options employment executive shares control "tax bill" salary usd dollar "real estate" "stock market" "estate tax" bitcoin gold silver profit "savings account" savings borrow "capital gains" company business corporate loan debt "gold trading" forex "forex trading" bank "bank account" banking cash "money management" wealth "tax haven" offshore "offshore company" mafia elite billionaire millionaire 2014 2015 u.s. "united states" usa america entertainment "agenda nwo" jim rogers rothschild george soros bilderberg 2014 alex jones infowars gerald celente david icke glenn beck coast to coast am george norey farrakhan banker suicide truth jsnip4 wake up sheeple song elite nwo agenda
A tax haven is a state, country or territory where certain taxes are levied at a low rate or not at all.[2] Individuals or corporate entities can find it attractive to establish shell subsidiaries or move themselves to areas with reduced or nil taxation levels relative to typical international taxation. This creates a situation of tax competition among governments. Different jurisdictions tend to be havens for different types of taxes, and for different categories of people or companies.worldwide demand for opportunities to engage in tax avoidance." The Economist points out that this definition would still exclude a number of jurisdictions traditionally thought of as tax havens. University of FloridaAssistantLaw ProfessorOmriMarian discusses potential tax abuses using Bitcoin.
Recent investors in Bitcoin may be nursing losses after a fall of some 40 per cent in the crypto-currency's value since January -- but at least they will be tax deductible.
That is one upshot of last week's decision by the US tax authorities -- issued just in time for the annual rush to file individual tax returns -- to treat virtual currencies as property for federal tax purposes.
Put your money offshore
Investment schemes exist that let you hold money in an offshore fund and roll-up the interest you earn on it. You will have to pay tax when you eventually withdraw the money, but in the meantime you can withdraw 5% a year without a tax liability. You can choose when you realise your investment, so you can plan it to fall when you are a basic rate rather than a high rate taxpayer. non qualified stock options GRAT estate tax no sale sale capital gains tax

Britain's offshore tax havens

A large cache of leaked documents has revealed that more than £10 million of the Queen’s private wealth has been invested offshore and in a UK company accused of preying on Britain’s poorest people.
Details of the investments were leaked as part of the ParadisePapers on Sunday, a trove of more than 13 million documents from the world’s leading offshore law firms released through the InternationalConsortium for Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), of which the BBC is a part.
More than 120,000 people and companies have been identified during the leak, including Queen Elizabeth II.

Paradise Papers: Tax haven secrets of ultra-rich exposed - BBC News

A huge new leak of financial documents has revealed how the powerful and ultra-wealthy, including the Queen's private estate, secretly invest vast amounts of cash in offshore tax havens.

The leak, dubbed the ParadisePapers, contains 13.4m documents, mostly from one leading firm in offshore finance.
BBC Panorama is part of nearly 100 media groups investigating the papers.

https://democracynow.org - Examining the ParadisePapers, The Guardian reports seven Republican super-donors mentioned in the papers stored some of their fortunes offshore, beyond the reach of public scrutiny and tax authorities. Together, the billionaires pumped more than $350 million into the 2016 election. Some are well-known backers of conservative causes, like casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and Charles and David Koch. Another investigation focuses on Democratic donor James Simons, who spent $11 million to back Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Offshore Tax Havens

In this video, I compare a company incorporated in Estonia (via the e-Residency program) with a typical offshore company/business in a tax haven (HK, Singapore, BVI)
Specifically, I cover
- Tax costs of both models (Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Withholding Tax)
- Privacy Benefits (using trustees, tax reporting requirements)
- Banking options!
As always, if you have a question about offshore companies/banking or e-Residency, post in the comments below!

Lionel Messi In Court During Tax Fraud Trial, Denies All Knowledge Of His Money Going Offshore

Lionel Messi told a court in Barcelona on Thursday (2nd June) that he dedicated himself solely to football and had no knowledge of his income going through offshore companies as he gave evidence at his trial for tax fraud.
Lionel Messi denied having knowledge of the tax issues that led to fraud charges against him, saying on Thursday that he signed documents without reading them because he trusted his father and the advisers responsible for managing his finances.
Wearing a dark suit and tie, Messi sat alongside his father in front of the judge and listened to other testimony for nearly four hours before being called to testify in the third day of the trial.
The Barcelona player looked impatient in court at times, looking down and trying to stretch his legs.

The world of offshore accounts, shell companies and tax havens extends far beyond the fictional legal thrillers you see on the silver screen. Offshore tax havens — countries or territories where taxes are assessed at a low or nonexistent rate — are very much a reality, and U.S.-based multinational corporations play a starring role in the real-life drama.
According to a 2016 report by Citizens for Tax Justice, 367 companies in the Fortune 500 operate subsidiaries in tax-haven nations around the globe.
Just like major corporations, individuals can take advantage of the web of financial loopholes and legislation that foreign countries offer. Click through to discover 12 of these tax havens, which might help you pay less on your tax bill this year or at some point in the future.
BERMUDA
Bermuda earned the dubious distinction of ranking No. 1 on Oxfam’s 2016 list of the world’s worst corporate tax havens. Bermuda features a zero percent corporate tax rate, as well as no personal income tax rate. Due to the lack of corporate taxes, U.S. multinational companies have raked in huge amounts of money in Bermuda, notably recording profits of $80 billion in 2012. That amount exceeded their profits reported in Japan, China, France and Germany combined.
NETHERLANDS
The most popular tax haven among the Fortune 500 is the Netherlands, with more than half of the Fortune 500 reporting at least one subsidiary there. Oxfam’s list of the worst corporate tax havens placed this Benelux country at No. 3.
National governments often use tax incentives to lure businesses to invest in their country. However, far too often tax incentives have been found to be ineffective, inefficient and costly, according to Oxfam. In the Netherlands, one such tax incentive cost an estimated 1.2 billion euros in 2016. That is equivalent to 7.6 percent of what the Netherlands receives in total income from corporation tax.
LUXEMBOURG
Like the Netherlands, Luxembourg is one of the three countries that form the Benelux countries, which also have a reputation for being tax shelters. Luxembourg’s tax-haven status comes from its business-friendly laws that allow international companies to park portions of their business in the nation and dodge billions in tax bills. Tax-friendly characteristics include tax incentives, zero percent withholding taxes and evidence of large-scale profit shifting, according to Oxfam.
CAYMAN ISLANDS
The Cayman Islands offer “probably the biggest (tax) loophole now for individuals as well as the multinational corporations,” said CrystalStranger, Los Angeles-based tax operations director at 1st Tax Inc. The Cayman Islands come in at No. 2 on Oxfam’s list of the worst tax havens.
The Caymans are a British Overseas Territory, a designation that seems to be a common thread running through several tax havens on the Oxfam list. The Caymans and other countries with laws that allow a corporation to be formed and retain assets without paying tax, Stranger said. “When held for business purposes, this is perfectly legal and not a tax-avoidance strategy,” she said.
However, the tax advantages and implications are complex, and a professional is probably best equipped to handle them, she said.
The tax benefits can be worthwhile to the many businesses from the U.S. and around the world that have assets in the Caymans. In 2012, American multinational companies reported $46 billion in profits from subsidiaries based in the Cayman Islands, according to a report by Citizens for Tax Justice. That compared to a gross domestic product of just $3 billion for the territory.
SINGAPORE
This tiny sovereign city-state was once a British colony, and now is a hub for multinational corporate subsidiaries. Like the Netherlands and Luxembourg, Singapore actually has “reasonable” nominal corporate tax rates, according to Oxfam. Yet, like those nations, Singapore still finds a way to be one of the top tax havens in the world.
Singapore circumvents its “reasonable” corporate tax rates through tax incentives, lack of withholding taxes and what appears to be substantial profit shifting, according to the Oxfam report.
CHANNEL ISLANDS
Located between England and France, the Channel Islands host hundreds of international corporate subsidiaries. For example, Morgan Stanley alone has 33 tax haven subsidiaries in the Channel Islands, according to a report by the Citizens for Tax Justice.
The Channel Islands consist of two British Crown dependencies:
The Bailiwick of Jersey, consisting of Jersey
The Bailiwick of Guernsey, consisting of three separate jurisdictions: Guernsey, Alderney and SarkCrown dependencies are not part of the United Kingdom, but are instead self-governing territories.
Jersey’s status as a tax haven rose in the mid-20th century, when many rich British citizens moved their wealth to the island. At that time

Located between England and France, the Channel Islands host hundreds of international corporate subsidiaries. For example, Morgan Stanley alone has 33 tax haven subsidiaries in the Channel Islands, according to a report by the Citizens for Tax Justice.
The Channel Islands consist of two British Crown dependencies:
The Bailiwick of Jersey, consisting of Jersey
The Bailiwick of Guernsey, consisting of three separate jurisdictions: Guernsey, Alderney and SarkCrown dependencies are not part of the United Kingdom, but are instead self-governing territories.
Jersey’s status as a tax haven rose in the mid-20th century, when many rich British citizens moved their wealth to the island. At that time

In this video, I compare a company incorporated in Estonia (via the e-Residency program) with a typical offshore company/business in a tax haven (HK, Singapore, BVI)
Specifically, I cover
- Tax costs of both models (Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Withholding Tax)
- Privacy Benefits (using trustees, tax reporting requirements)
- Banking options!
As always, if you have a question about offshore companies/banking or e-Residency, post in the comments below!

Lionel Messi told a court in Barcelona on Thursday (2nd June) that he dedicated himself solely to football and had no knowledge of his income going through offshore companies as he gave evidence at his trial for tax fraud.
Lionel Messi denied having knowledge of the tax issues that led to fraud charges against him, saying on Thursday that he signed documents without reading them because he trusted his father and the advisers responsible for managing his finances.
Wearing a dark suit and tie, Messi sat alongside his father in front of the judge and listened to other testimony for nearly four hours before being called to testify in the third day of the trial.
The Barcelona player looked impatient in court at times, looking down and trying to stretch his legs.
The left foot which helps him thrive on the soccer fields kept bouncing impatiently underneath the chair.
Speaking for less than 15 minutes, he said he never suspected of any wrongdoing when his father would ask him to sign contracts or documents.
He said he did not know that part of his income was going through companies created in countries such as Uruguay, Switzerland and Belize, which authorities allege was done to lower the player's tax burden in Spain.
Messi and his father are facing three counts of tax fraud and could be sentenced to nearly two years in prison if found guilty of defrauding Spain's tax authority of 4.1 million euros ($4.5 million) from 2007-09.
They are not likely to face any jail time but could be fined and made to forfeit possible future tax benefits.
Both deny wrongdoing, and the money owed was already paid back.
The trial is expected to end on Friday with verdict and sentencing expected next week.

LEGAL WAYS TO AVOID PAYING TAX - The SuperRichElite are Doing It, So Why Dont You?
Don't take an income
Selling assets and realising capital gains could give you a source of cash if you needed it, and careful planning so losses in previous years offset any gains could help reduce your capital gains tax bill.
Give to charity
This is one of the strategies the government is planning to crack down on, although its plans have attracted controversy and could be watered down as a result.
Currently, if you give assets to charity you can claim income tax relief up to their entire value. The government's own Directgov website gives an example of how donating a property worth £90,000 to charity allows you to avoid paying tax on the same amount. In this case you are obviously losing the asset, but you are reducing your taxable income. Give enough away and you could reduce your taxable income to zero.
There is a way to keep hold of the asset and reduce your income. If you have a freehold property you could grant a lease on it and give that to the charity. For example, if you grant an eight-year lease the charity holds the property for the term of that lease and benefits from any rental income during that period, but at the end of the lease the property reverts to your ownership. You won't get tax relief on the value of the freehold property, but on the value of the lease -- in London that kind of lease on a £1m house could be worth £50,000.
Tax avoidance is the legal usage of the tax regime to one's own advantage, to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are within the law. Tax sheltering is very similar, and tax havens are jurisdictions which facilitate reduced taxes. The term tax mitigation is sometimes used; its original use was by tax advisers as an alternative to the pejorative term tax evasion. "Tax aggressive" strategies fall into the grey area between commonplace and well-accepted tax avoidance (such as purchasing municipal bonds in the United States) and evasion. However, the uses of these terms vary.[1] tax irs taxes legal law "tax man" options employment executive shares control "tax bill" salary usd dollar "real estate" "stock market" "estate tax" bitcoin gold silver profit "savings account" savings borrow "capital gains" company business corporate loan debt "gold trading" forex "forex trading" bank "bank account" banking cash "money management" wealth "tax haven" offshore "offshore company" mafia elite billionaire millionaire 2014 2015 u.s.

A tax haven is a state, country or territory where certain taxes are levied at a low rate or not at all.[2] Individuals or corporate entities can find it attractive to establish shell subsidiaries or move themselves to areas with reduced or nil taxation levels relative to typical international taxation. This creates a situation of tax competition among governments. Different jurisdictions tend to be havens for different types of taxes, and for different categories of people or companies.worldwide demand for opportunities to engage in tax avoidance." The Economist points out that this definition would still exclude a number of jurisdictions traditionally thought of as tax havens. University of FloridaAssistantLaw ProfessorOmriMarian discusses potential tax abuses using Bitcoin.
Recent investors in Bitcoin may be nursing losses after a fall of some 40 per cent in the crypto-currency's value since January -- but at least they will be tax deductible.
That is one upshot of last week's decision by the US tax authorities -- issued just in time for the annual rush to file individual tax returns -- to treat virtual currencies as property for federal tax purposes.
Put your money offshore
Investment schemes exist that let you hold money in an offshore fund and roll-up the interest you earn on it. You will have to pay tax when you eventually withdraw the money, but in the meantime you can withdraw 5% a year without a tax liability. You can choose when you realise your investment, so you can plan it to fall when you are a basic rate rather than a high rate taxpayer. non qualified stock options GRAT estate tax no sale sale capital gains tax

Mini Law School - Invisible Riches: Offshore Tax Evasion and the Global Crackdown

Recent studies of international banking data suggest that a staggering amount of global financial wealth (between $US 10 and 20 trillion) is held in "offshore financial centres" or "tax havens", with over $US 5 trillion of such financial wealth being unreported or unidentified. This is despite the fact that governments and international organizations, including the OECD and G20, have aggressively targeted offshore tax evasion since the 2008 financial crisis, with the G20 declaring in 2009 that "the era of banking secrecy is over".
In this lecture we will explore the following questions:
* What is the nature of the international tax evasion problem, particularly for Canada?
* How has the Canadian government enhanced our tax laws and treaty networks to stem the outflow of money?

We're Not Broke - The Corporate Tax Cheats of America

America is in the grip of a societal economic panic. Lawmakers cry, "we're broke!" as they slash budgets, lay off schoolteachers, police, and firefighters, crumbling our country's social fabric and leaving many Americans scrambling to survive. Meanwhile, multibillion-dollar American corporations like Exxon, Google and Bank of America are making record profits. And while the deficit climbs and the cuts go deeper, these corporations - with intimate ties to our political leaders - are concealing colossal profits overseas to avoid paying U.S. income tax. WE'RE NOT BROKE is the story of how U.S. corporations have been able to hide over a trillion dollars from Uncle Sam, and how seven fed-up Americans from across the country, take their frustration to the streets?and vow to make the corporations...

"Lower business taxes.
During the campaign, Trump pledged to slash taxes on companies.
Right now, the US corporate tax rate is 35%, among the world's highest (many firms pay far less). He wants to reduce that to 15%. Another type of business - known as a pass-through entity because profits "pass through" to the owners and get taxed as personal income - would get that same rate. (Real estate firms - including President Trump's - are often organised this way.)
That corporate rate would be lower than Britain's (about 20%) and Hong Kong's (16.5%), bu...

Tax Avoidance; the Never Ending Search for Resolving Clashing Principles

JSE Power Hour: Tax-free investing (TFSA)

Tax-free investing is almost two years old, having first been introduced in March 2015. With February being the last month to invest your full annual tax-free allocation of R30 000, the new tax year commencing in March will reset your annual allocation for another R30 000.
Simon Brown, founder of Just One Lap, will focus on tax-free investing covering:
The limits,
restrictions and benefits of tax-free investing,
three model tax-free ETF portfolios for different risk levels,
offshore exposure,
whether we should be concerned about modest South African growth and returns,
trading within a tax-free account,
withdrawals and transfers.
This video aims to get you on the road to a solid long-term tax-free portfolio.

http://democracynow.org - "The biggest leak in the history of data journalism just went live, and it’s about corruption." That is what NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden tweeted about the Panama Papers, which were released Sunday and reveal how the rich and powerful in numerous countries use tax havens to hide their wealth. Some 11.5 million files were leaked from one of the world’s most secretive offshore companies, Mossack Fonseca, a law firm based in Panama, and passed to the German newspaperSüddeutsche Zeitung and then pored over by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The information in the files dates back to 1977 and goes up to December last year. The revelations implicate 12 heads of state and a number of other politicians, their family members and close associates, including friends of Russian PresidentVladimir Putin, relatives of the prime ministers of Britain, Iceland and Pakistan, and the president of Ukraine. Relatives of at least eight current or former members of China’s top ruling body are also named, and today Chinese news groups were ordered to purge all mention of the Panama Papers. So far, fallout from the leaks has prompted investigations and calls for resignation. On Monday, one of the largest protests in Iceland’s history demanded Prime MinisterSigmundur Gunnlaugsson step down after the leaked files revealed he and his wife were hiding investments worth millions of dollars behind a secretive offshore company. We are joined from Munich by Frederik Obermaier, co-author of the Panama Papers story. He is an investigative reporter at Germany’s leading newspaper, the Munich-based Süddeutsche Zeitung, and co-author of the book "Panama Papers: The Story of a WorldwideRevelation," just released today in Germany. We also speak with Michael Hudson, senior editor at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which published the Panama Papers.

In terms of foreign policy Donald Trump has already earned himself the title ‘the low expectations president.’ This title is now being put to the test during his tour of Asia. Is the US a status quo power in the Asia-Pacific region or merely a foil challenging China?

Join a team from Deloitte Tax LLP, the country's largest Tax firm, just two days after the Presidential election to discuss the current legislative environment, how the President Elect's objectives will affect the uncertainty surrounding potential tax changes, and what steps you can take now to plan for the future, including the potential sunset of the Bush-era tax cuts and the new healthcare taxes. Deloitte Tax PrincipalJudithPlaceSloan (C'83) and Individual Income TaxNational Competency LeaderEddie Gershman will discuss the current Tax landscape, the possible changes afoot and how you can weigh the many planning options before you.
With the extension of the lower Bush-era tax rates for individuals and a more favorable estate and gift environment existing only through yearend, yet another scheduled expiration of tax relief is rapidly approaching. Additionally, beginning in 2013, taxpayers will be confronted with two new taxes: the addition of the net investment income tax and the FICA-HI tax ("healthcare taxes"). These changes, coupled with post-election insight, should make for a content filled discussion.
Deloitte Tax's PrivateClient Services practice is dedicated to providing detailed and objective tax and wealth planning advice and services to private companies and their owners, and affluent individuals and families.
Deloitte Tax LLP (Deloitte Tax) is one of Deloitte LLP's four world-class businesses, consisting of nearly 8,000 professionals.

America is in the grip of a societal economic panic. Lawmakers cry, "we're broke!" as they slash budgets, lay off schoolteachers, police, and firefighters, crumbling our country's social fabric and leaving many Americans scrambling to survive. Meanwhile, multibillion-dollar American corporations like Exxon, Google and Bank of America are making record profits. And while the deficit climbs and the cuts go deeper, these corporations - with intimate ties to our political leaders - are concealing colossal profits overseas to avoid paying U.S. income tax. WE'RE NOT BROKE is the story of how U.S. corporations have been able to hide over a trillion dollars from Uncle Sam, and how seven fed-up Americans from across the country, take their frustration to the streets?and vow to make the corporations pay their fair share.

"Lower business taxes.
During the campaign, Trump pledged to slash taxes on companies.
Right now, the US corporate tax rate is 35%, among the world's highest (many firms pay far less). He wants to reduce that to 15%. Another type of business - known as a pass-through entity because profits "pass through" to the owners and get taxed as personal income - would get that same rate. (Real estate firms - including President Trump's - are often organised this way.)
That corporate rate would be lower than Britain's (about 20%) and Hong Kong's (16.5%), but not as low as Ireland's (12.5%), according to a ranking by the KPMG accounting firm. China's corporate tax rate is 20%, but some firms and industries there face a 15% rate.”*

Tax-free investing is almost two years old, having first been introduced in March 2015. With February being the last month to invest your full annual tax-free allocation of R30 000, the new tax year commencing in March will reset your annual allocation for another R30 000.
Simon Brown, founder of Just One Lap, will focus on tax-free investing covering:
The limits,
restrictions and benefits of tax-free investing,
three model tax-free ETF portfolios for different risk levels,
offshore exposure,
whether we should be concerned about modest South African growth and returns,
trading within a tax-free account,
withdrawals and transfers.
This video aims to get you on the road to a solid long-term tax-free portfolio.

Britain's offshore tax havens

A large cache of leaked documents has revealed that more than £10 million of the Queen’s private wealth has been invested offshore and in a UK company accused of preying on Britain’s poorest people.
Details of the investments were leaked as part of the ParadisePapers on Sunday, a trove of more than 13 million documents from the world’s leading offshore law firms released through the InternationalConsortium for Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), of which the BBC is a part.
More than 120,000 people and companies have been identified during the leak, including Queen Elizabeth II.

Paradise Papers: Tax haven secrets of ultra-rich exposed - BBC News

A huge new leak of financial documents has revealed how the powerful and ultra-wealthy, including the Queen's private estate, secretly invest vast amounts of cash in offshore tax havens.
Donald Trump's commerce secretary is shown to have a stake in a firm dealing with Russians sanctioned by the US.
The leak, dubbed the ParadisePapers, contains 13.4m documents, mostly from one leading firm in offshore finance.
BBC Panorama is part of nearly 100 media groups investigating the papers.

https://democracynow.org - Examining the ParadisePapers, The Guardian reports seven Republican super-donors mentioned in the papers stored some of their fortunes offshore, beyond the reach of public scrutiny and tax authorities. Together, the billionaires pumped more than $350 million into the 2016 election. Some are well-known backers of conservative causes, like casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and Charles and David Koch. Another investigation focuses on Democratic donor James Simons, who spent $11 million to back Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. Simons is the founder of Renaissance Technologies, the world’s most profitable hedge fund. Leaked records show he kept much of his $8 billion fortune in an offshore private wealth fund in Bermuda in order to avoid “particularly severe” taxes that would be triggered if he tried to bring the funds onshore. We speak with Jon Swaine, senior reporter for The Guardian.

The world of offshore accounts, shell companies and tax havens extends far beyond the fictional legal thrillers you see on the silver screen. Offshore tax havens — countries or territories where taxes are assessed at a low or nonexistent rate — are very much a reality, and U.S.-based multinational corporations play a starring role in the real-life drama.
According to a 2016 report by Citizens for Tax Justice, 367 companies in the Fortune 500 operate subsidiaries in tax-haven nations around the globe.
Just like major corporations, individuals can take advantage of the web of financial loopholes and legislation that foreign countries offer. Click through to discover 12 of these tax havens, which might help you pay less on your tax bill this year or at some point in the future.
BERMUDA
Bermuda earned the dubious distinction of ranking No. 1 on Oxfam’s 2016 list of the world’s worst corporate tax havens. Bermuda features a zero percent corporate tax rate, as well as no personal income tax rate. Due to the lack of corporate taxes, U.S. multinational companies have raked in huge amounts of money in Bermuda, notably recording profits of $80 billion in 2012. That amount exceeded their profits reported in Japan, China, France and Germany combined.
NETHERLANDS
The most popular tax haven among the Fortune 500 is the Netherlands, with more than half of the Fortune 500 reporting at least one subsidiary there. Oxfam’s list of the worst corporate tax havens placed this Benelux country at No. 3.
National governments often use tax incentives to lure businesses to invest in their country. However, far too often tax incentives have been found to be ineffective, inefficient and costly, according to Oxfam. In the Netherlands, one such tax incentive cost an estimated 1.2 billion euros in 2016. That is equivalent to 7.6 percent of what the Netherlands receives in total income from corporation tax.
LUXEMBOURG
Like the Netherlands, Luxembourg is one of the three countries that form the Benelux countries, which also have a reputation for being tax shelters. Luxembourg’s tax-haven status comes from its business-friendly laws that allow international companies to park portions of their business in the nation and dodge billions in tax bills. Tax-friendly characteristics include tax incentives, zero percent withholding taxes and evidence of large-scale profit shifting, according to Oxfam.
CAYMAN ISLANDS
The Cayman Islands offer “probably the biggest (tax) loophole now for individuals as well as the multinational corporations,” said CrystalStranger, Los Angeles-based tax operations director at 1st Tax Inc. The Cayman Islands come in at No. 2 on Oxfam’s list of the worst tax havens.
The Caymans are a British Overseas Territory, a designation that seems to be a common thread running through several tax havens on the Oxfam list. The Caymans and other countries with laws that allow a corporation to be formed and retain assets without paying tax, Stranger said. “When held for business purposes, this is perfectly legal and not a tax-avoidance strategy,” she said.
However, the tax advantages and implications are complex, and a professional is probably best equipped to handle them, she said.
The tax benefits can be worthwhile to the many businesses from the U.S. and around the world that have assets in the Caymans. In 2012, American multinational companies reported $46 billion in profits from subsidiaries based in the Cayman Islands, according to a report by Citizens for Tax Justice. That compared to a gross domestic product of just $3 billion for the territory.
SINGAPORE
This tiny sovereign city-state was once a British colony, and now is a hub for multinational corporate subsidiaries. Like the Netherlands and Luxembourg, Singapore actually has “reasonable” nominal corporate tax rates, according to Oxfam. Yet, like those nations, Singapore still finds a way to be one of the top tax havens in the world.
Singapore circumvents its “reasonable” corporate tax rates through tax incentives, lack of withholding taxes and what appears to be substantial profit shifting, according to the Oxfam report.
CHANNEL ISLANDS
Located between England and France, the Channel Islands host hundreds of international corporate subsidiaries. For example, Morgan Stanley alone has 33 tax haven subsidiaries in the Channel Islands, according to a report by the Citizens for Tax Justice.
The Channel Islands consist of two British Crown dependencies:
The Bailiwick of Jersey, consisting of Jersey
The Bailiwick of Guernsey, consisting of three separate jurisdictions: Guernsey, Alderney and SarkCrown dependencies are not part of the United Kingdom, but are instead self-governing territories.
Jersey’s status as a tax haven rose in the mid-20th century, when many rich British citizens moved their wealth to the island. At that time

In this video, I compare a company incorporated in Estonia (via the e-Residency program) with a typical offshore company/business in a tax haven (HK, Singapore, BVI)
Specifically, I cover
- Tax costs of both models (Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Withholding Tax)
- Privacy Benefits (using trustees, tax reporting requirements)
- Banking options!
As always, if you have a question about offshore companies/banking or e-Residency, post in the comments below!

Lionel Messi In Court During Tax Fraud Trial, Denies All Knowledge Of His Money Going Offshore

Lionel Messi told a court in Barcelona on Thursday (2nd June) that he dedicated himself solely to football and had no knowledge of his income going through offshore companies as he gave evidence at his trial for tax fraud.
Lionel Messi denied having knowledge of the tax issues that led to fraud charges against him, saying on Thursday that he signed documents without reading them because he trusted his father and the advisers responsible for managing his finances.
Wearing a dark suit and tie, Messi sat alongside his father in front of the judge and listened to other testimony for nearly four hours before being called to testify in the third day of the trial.
The Barcelona player looked impatient in court at times, looking down and trying to stretch his legs.
The left foot which helps him thrive on the soccer fields kept bouncing impatiently underneath the chair.
Speaking for less than 15 minutes, he said he never suspected of any wrongdoing when his father would ask him to sign contracts or documents.
He said he did not know that part of his income was going through companies created in countries such as Uruguay, Switzerland and Belize, which authorities allege was done to lower the player's tax burden in Spain.
Messi and his father are facing three counts of tax fraud and could be sentenced to nearly two years in prison if found guilty of defrauding Spain's tax authority of 4.1 million euros ($4.5 million) from 2007-09.
They are not likely to face any jail time but could be fined and made to forfeit possible future tax benefits.
Both deny wrongdoing, and the money owed was already paid back.
The trial is expected to end on Friday with verdict and sentencing expected next week.

LEGAL WAYS TO AVOID PAYING TAX - The SuperRichElite are Doing It, So Why Dont You?
Don't take an income
Selling assets and realising capital gains could give you a source of cash if you needed it, and careful planning so losses in previous years offset any gains could help reduce your capital gains tax bill.
Give to charity
This is one of the strategies the government is planning to crack down on, although its plans have attracted controversy and could be watered down as a result.
Currently, if you give assets to charity you can claim income tax relief up to their entire value. The government's own Directgov website gives an example of how donating a property worth £90,000 to charity allows you to avoid paying tax on the same amount. In this case you are obviously losing the asset, but you are reducing your taxable income. Give enough away and you could reduce your taxable income to zero.
There is a way to keep hold of the asset and reduce your income. If you have a freehold property you could grant a lease on it and give that to the charity. For example, if you grant an eight-year lease the charity holds the property for the term of that lease and benefits from any rental income during that period, but at the end of the lease the property reverts to your ownership. You won't get tax relief on the value of the freehold property, but on the value of the lease -- in London that kind of lease on a £1m house could be worth £50,000.
Tax avoidance is the legal usage of the tax regime to one's own advantage, to reduce the amount of tax that is payable by means that are within the law. Tax sheltering is very similar, and tax havens are jurisdictions which facilitate reduced taxes. The term tax mitigation is sometimes used; its original use was by tax advisers as an alternative to the pejorative term tax evasion. "Tax aggressive" strategies fall into the grey area between commonplace and well-accepted tax avoidance (such as purchasing municipal bonds in the United States) and evasion. However, the uses of these terms vary.[1] tax irs taxes legal law "tax man" options employment executive shares control "tax bill" salary usd dollar "real estate" "stock market" "estate tax" bitcoin gold silver profit "savings account" savings borrow "capital gains" company business corporate loan debt "gold trading" forex "forex trading" bank "bank account" banking cash "money management" wealth "tax haven" offshore "offshore company" mafia elite billionaire millionaire 2014 2015 u.s.

A tax haven is a state, country or territory where certain taxes are levied at a low rate or not at all.[2] Individuals or corporate entities can find it attractive to establish shell subsidiaries or move themselves to areas with reduced or nil taxation levels relative to typical international taxation. This creates a situation of tax competition among governments. Different jurisdictions tend to be havens for different types of taxes, and for different categories of people or companies.worldwide demand for opportunities to engage in tax avoidance." The Economist points out that this definition would still exclude a number of jurisdictions traditionally thought of as tax havens. University of FloridaAssistantLaw ProfessorOmriMarian discusses potential tax abuses using Bitcoin.
Recent investors in Bitcoin may be nursing losses after a fall of some 40 per cent in the crypto-currency's value since January -- but at least they will be tax deductible.
That is one upshot of last week's decision by the US tax authorities -- issued just in time for the annual rush to file individual tax returns -- to treat virtual currencies as property for federal tax purposes.
Put your money offshore
Investment schemes exist that let you hold money in an offshore fund and roll-up the interest you earn on it. You will have to pay tax when you eventually withdraw the money, but in the meantime you can withdraw 5% a year without a tax liability. You can choose when you realise your investment, so you can plan it to fall when you are a basic rate rather than a high rate taxpayer. non qualified stock options GRAT estate tax no sale sale capital gains tax

Mini Law School - Invisible Riches: Offshore Tax Evasion and the Global Crackdown

Recent studies of international banking data suggest that a staggering amount of global financial wealth (between $US 10 and 20 trillion) is held in "offshore financial centres" or "tax havens", with over $US 5 trillion of such financial wealth being unreported or unidentified. This is despite the fact that governments and international organizations, including the OECD and G20, have aggressively targeted offshore tax evasion since the 2008 financial crisis, with the G20 declaring in 2009 that "the era of banking secrecy is over".
In this lecture we will explore the following questions:
* What is the nature of the international tax evasion problem, particularly for Canada?
* How has the Canadian government enhanced our tax laws and treaty networks to stem the outflow of money?
* Is the Canada Revenue Agency doing anything to bring tax evaders to justice? (or is that the job of the CBC?)
* Is the era of banking secrecy really over?
Presented by ProfessorGeoffrey Loomer, Schulich School of Law on February 12, 2014.MINILAW SCHOOL is a free series of engaging public lectures that will give you a taste of what a legal education is all about. There's no cost to attend - and better still, no tests to write - just come with a curious ear to listen to fascinating lectures from some of the law school's most talented faculty.

http://democracynow.org - "The biggest leak in the history of data journalism just went live, and it’s about corruption." That is what NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden tweeted about the Panama Papers, which were released Sunday and reveal how the rich and powerful in numerous countries use tax havens to hide their wealth. Some 11.5 million files were leaked from one of the world’s most secretive offshore companies, Mossack Fonseca, a law firm based in Panama, and passed to the German newspaperSüddeutsche Zeitung and then pored over by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The information in the files dates back to 1977 and goes up to December last year. The revelations implicate 12 heads of state and a number of other politicians, their family members and close associates, including friends of Russian PresidentVladimir Putin, relatives of the prime ministers of Britain, Iceland and Pakistan, and the president of Ukraine. Relatives of at least eight current or former members of China’s top ruling body are also named, and today Chinese news groups were ordered to purge all mention of the Panama Papers. So far, fallout from the leaks has prompted investigations and calls for resignation. On Monday, one of the largest protests in Iceland’s history demanded Prime MinisterSigmundur Gunnlaugsson step down after the leaked files revealed he and his wife were hiding investments worth millions of dollars behind a secretive offshore company. We are joined from Munich by Frederik Obermaier, co-author of the Panama Papers story. He is an investigative reporter at Germany’s leading newspaper, the Munich-based Süddeutsche Zeitung, and co-author of the book "Panama Papers: The Story of a WorldwideRevelation," just released today in Germany. We also speak with Michael Hudson, senior editor at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which published the Panama Papers.

CrossTalk on China: The Donald's Pivot

In terms of foreign policy Donald Trump has already earned himself the title ‘the low expectations president.’ This title is now being put to the test during his tour of Asia. Is the US a status quo power in the Asia-Pacific region or merely a foil challenging China?

Join a team from Deloitte Tax LLP, the country's largest Tax firm, just two days after the Presidential election to discuss the current legislative environment, how the President Elect's objectives will affect the uncertainty surrounding potential tax changes, and what steps you can take now to plan for the future, including the potential sunset of the Bush-era tax cuts and the new healthcare taxes. Deloitte Tax PrincipalJudithPlaceSloan (C'83) and Individual Income TaxNational Competency LeaderEddie Gershman will discuss the current Tax landscape, the possible changes afoot and how you can weigh the many planning options before you.

Additionally, beginning in 2013, taxpayers will be confronted with two new taxes: the addition of the net investment income tax and the FICA-HI tax ("healthcare taxes"). These changes, coupled with post-election insight, should make for a content filled discussion.

We're Not Broke - The Corporate Tax Cheats of America

America is in the grip of a societal economic panic. Lawmakers cry, "we're broke!" as they slash budgets, lay off schoolteachers, police, and firefighters, crumbling our country's social fabric and leaving many Americans scrambling to survive. Meanwhile, multibillion-dollar American corporations like Exxon, Google and Bank of America are making record profits. And while the deficit climbs and the cuts go deeper, these corporations - with intimate ties to our political leaders - are concealing colossal profits overseas to avoid paying U.S. income tax. WE'RE NOT BROKE is the story of how U.S. corporations have been able to hide over a trillion dollars from Uncle Sam, and how seven fed-up Americans from across the country, take their frustration to the streets?and vow to make the corporations pay their fair share.

America is about to pay dearly for electing Republicans. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. http://tytnetwork.com/go
"Lower business taxes.
During the campaign, Trump pledged to slash taxes on companies.
Right now, the US corporate tax rate is 35%, among the world's highest (many firms pay far less). He wants to reduce that to 15%. Another type of business - known as a pass-through entity because profits "pass through" to the owners and get taxed as personal income - would get that same rate. (Real estate firms - including President Trump's - are often organised this way.)
That corporate rate would be lower than Britain's (about 20%) and Hong Kong's (16.5%), but not as low as Ireland's (12.5%), according to a ranking by the KPMG accounting firm. China's corporate tax rate is 20%, but some firms and industries there face a 15% rate.”*
